2. West Bengal government provides electricity subsidy for BPL households — check eligibility at your local WBSEDCL office.
3. Use ceiling fans with BLDC motors — they consume 30–35W versus 70–80W of traditional fans, saving up to 50%.
4. Avoid using old, inefficient CFL bulbs — replace with LED bulbs rated by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
5. Install solar panels under PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana — West Bengal consumers can avail central subsidy up to ₹78,000.
